Chris Redd's Bio
Hailing from Chicago, Chris Redd is a multifaceted talent whose work spans stand-up comedy, film, television and music.
Redd’s first one-hour special, “Why Am I Like This?” was released in October 2022 and is streaming now on MAX. The material was mined from his personal journey of self-discovery, pulling from his experiences starting therapy amid the height of the pandemic and taking a look at his life with a newfound perspective.
Redd will next be seen as the host of Netflix’s highly anticipated automotive makeover series “Resurrected Rides,” premiering on July 24th. The show is produced by Rick Hurvitz, who co-created MTV’s cult series “Pimp My Ride.” Last year, he appeared in Amazon Prime Video and MGM Studios’ hit holiday feature “Candy Cane Lane,” starring opposite Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross. He will next star in Amazon MGM Studios‘ highly anticipated rom-com, “Merv” alongside Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox from director Jessica Swale. Additionally, Redd will lend his vocal talents to Ramy Youssef’s upcoming Amazon animated series “#1 Happy Family USA”. He co-created and voiced a lead role in a yet-to-be-titled project from Broadway Video and Audible, and is attached to star in the feature film “Cyber Monday,” which is currently in development at Universal.
Redd is the co-creator, writer, and star of Peacock’s scripted comedy series, “Bust Down”, which premiered in March 2022. He was a repertory player on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for 5 seasons.
In addition to acting and writing, Redd is a rapper and stand-up comedian who performs across the country and has toured the United States and Europe with The Second City Touring Company. He received the Emmy Award in 2018 for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the “SNL” song “Come Back, Barack.”
